Chapter 98: Political Maneuvering

"You must be Captain Tang Fei of the Linwu District Police Sub-bureau's Criminal Investigation Division, right?"

Chief Sun looked at Captain Tang Fei with satisfaction and said, "Make arrangements immediately to arrest Li Zhigang and Jiang Zhengqiu, then perform an authentication check on the audio evidence you have."

"Yes, Chief!"

Captain Tang Fei gave a crisp, spirited salute.

"Li Zhigang is a real estate company owner, and Jiang Zhengqiu is also an owner, whose father is a government official. You must be careful to maintain confidentiality when arresting them; seal off the information so they cannot escape."

As Captain Tang Fei was leaving, Police Chief Sun Yongkang gave another instruction. Judging by his style, he was very meticulous and experienced. In fact, that was the case; he was a former soldier who had served as a reconnaissance platoon leader. After transitioning to civilian life, he had always been in charge of major case squads, so it could be said that he had very rich experience in handling cases.

"Mr. Zhou, Young Miss Li, I apologize for the scare. Tonight, I, Sun, will definitely investigate this case clearly and return justice to you. For now, please rest in the office for a while."

After Captain Tang Fei left, Police Chief Sun Yongkang walked up to Zhou Lang and Li Mengxue and spoke very politely.

Secretary Lei Gang had called personally to say that Zhou Lang was his little brother. He naturally knew that the relationship between Zhou Lang and Secretary Lei was extraordinary, but he had still underestimated Zhou Lang, because in Secretary Lei's eyes, Zhou Lang was a true master and also his benefactor.

"Good."

Zhou Lang was not overly polite either. He gave Li Mengxue a look and sat down on the office sofa.

Police Chief Sun Yongkang saw Zhou Lang so composed and couldn't help but be secretly amazed. One had to know that there were not many young people with such composure nowadays.

Seeing the polite manner in which Police Chief Sun Yongkang treated Zhou Lang, Chief Wu Kai felt even more guilty. If one said Zhou Lang had no background, he would never believe it. He felt that he was going to capsize in the gutter this time.

"Chief Sun, please take a seat as well."

Although Chief Wu Kai knew that things were about to be exposed, he still squeezed out a smile on his Face and invited Police Chief Sun Yongkang to sit. The authority and rank of his sub-bureau chief position were very different from a municipal bureau chief. He could throw his weight around in front of Captain Tang Fei, but seeing Chief Sun, he completely wilted.

Immediately, Police Chief Sun Yongkang also sat on the sofa. The police officers he brought stood behind him, and it was impossible for Chief Wu Kai to do anything.

"What is going on with this police officer? Why is he lying on the floor?"

Police Chief Sun Yongkang had arranged the main matters, and only then did he ask Chief Wu Kai.

"This is Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng of our Criminal Investigation Division. He suddenly suffered from a strange illness just now and collapsed on the floor, unable to get up. I need to arrange for him to go to the hospital for a checkup now."

Chief Wu Kai said immediately. He knew that he would likely capsize this time, so he naturally had to find a way to contact some powerful figures to save himself. Now, in front of Police Chief Sun Yongkang, it was not convenient for him to make calls, but if he left this office, he could immediately think of a way, and sending Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng to the hospital was definitely an opportunity.

"Chief Wu, Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng is your nephew. It is normal for you to be worried about his situation, but Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng is also involved in the case and cannot leave for the time being."

Before Police Chief Sun Yongkang could speak, Zhou Lang sneered, "Actually, Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng knows the ins and outs of today's matter. At the Linyinjuju Hotel, as well as just now in this office, he said it himself: he just wanted to use his power to oppress others and help Jiang Zhengqiu frame me. For such a police officer, he must be dealt with strictly; we cannot condone this."

"Zhou Lang, the audio evidence you provided has not yet been verified for authenticity. Don't talk nonsense. As for just now, when did Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng ever say he wanted to frame you?"

Chief Wu Kai said angrily. This guy was really an old fox. Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng had clearly said those words earlier, but he was now denying it. Anyway, Zhou Lang had no evidence in his hands, so he couldn't do anything about him.

"Officer Wu, what did you say when you pointed your gun at my head just now?" Zhou Lang stood up from the sofa, walked to Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng, and looked at him.

Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng had originally been lying on the floor groaning, his eyes unfocused, but when Zhou Lang said this, his eyes suddenly became sharp, attracted by Zhou Lang's gaze.

At this moment, Zhou Lang used an illusion technique. To deal with a person like Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng, it was really too simple for him.

Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng's mind became chaotic in an instant, and he immediately said loudly, "Zhou Lang, I just took benefits from Jiang Zhengqiu and Li Zhigang to frame you, make you go to jail, and then take your woman, Li Mengxue, for myself. You don't even look at what kind of person you are, daring to go against me. My uncle is the chief of the police sub-bureau; I am determined to blacklist you!"

Once Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng said this, Chief Wu Kai's Face turned bloodless. He never expected that Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng would dare to say these things in front of Police Chief Sun Yongkang.

"Chief Wu, the matter is already very clear. As Mr. Zhou said, Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng has an extraordinary relationship with Li Zhigang and Jiang Zhengqiu. Before the case is investigated, he cannot leave. And your performance in this case is also extremely abnormal; you must also accept an investigation. Now, both of you hand over your mobile phones to me and stay in the office honestly."

Police Chief Sun Yongkang said angrily. Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng was so bold that he wished he could draw his gun and shoot this bastard immediately. He also didn't expect that it was Zhou Lang who controlled Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng's mind with an illusion, which caused him to repeat what he had said earlier. Otherwise, how could this guy be so dizzy and say such things?

Now Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng was dazed and confused, completely unaware of what he had just said.

Hearing Police Chief Sun Yongkang say this, Chief Wu Kai almost collapsed on the sofa.

Police Chief Sun Yongkang gave a look to the subordinates he brought. Two burly police officers walked out and directly confiscated the mobile phones of Chief Wu Kai and Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng.

After Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng roared twice, he quieted down. He was still lying on the floor, unable to move.

"Chief Sun, looking at Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng's condition, he might be in life-threatening danger. It is better to send him to the hospital for a checkup. If something happens, we cannot bear the responsibility."

But Chief Wu Kai was an old slicker after all. He quickly said again. Now he could only leave this office and leave Police Chief Sun Yongkang's field of vision to find a way to contact Deputy Minister Jiang Dezhi, the father of Jiang Zhengqiu. If he was arrested and the matter blew up, even if Deputy Minister Jiang Dezhi came forward, he might not be able to save him.

"Chief Sun, Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng is just faking it, wanting to slip away. Actually, there is nothing wrong with him at all." While Police Chief Sun Yongkang was hesitating, Zhou Lang said, "I also have a rough understanding of Medical Skills and can make him stand up immediately!"

"Then you take a look at Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng." Police Chief Sun Yongkang said. When Secretary Lei called him at that time, he told him to listen to Zhou Lang in everything, so he did not hesitate at all.

Zhou Lang didn't say a word and kicked Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng.

"You… what are you doing? You are still a criminal suspect now. Do you want to assault an officer?" Chief Wu Kai immediately made a fuss and roared at Zhou Lang.

Police Chief Sun Yongkang was also startled by Zhou Lang. He didn't expect Zhou Lang to kick someone directly.

"Ah!"

But after Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng gave a cry, he flipped over and stood up.

"Eh… my legs are fine now." Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng was surprised and happy. Previously, he didn't know what was going on and fell down, unable to move his legs. Now, inexplicably, he was fine. His mind was a mess.

"What is wrong with you? You were just faking it earlier." Zhou Lang said. His kick to Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng's body only temporarily relieved Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng's symptoms; Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng would have more to suffer in the future.

While these things were happening in the director's office, Captain Tang Fei had already taken her subordinates and split into two groups to arrest Li Zhigang and Jiang Zhengqiu.

Li Zhigang was in the hospital, and Jiang Zhengqiu was at his Linyinjuju Hotel. It was very convenient to arrest them. In less than twenty minutes, Captain Tang Fei brought these two guys back.

Previously, these two guys were very smug, thinking they could finish off Zhou Lang and take Li Mengxue, but they didn't expect that they would be arrested themselves.

When they were arrested, they were still making a scene, but Captain Tang Fei was not someone to be trifled with. After giving them a few punches in the stomach, they calmed down.

After being brought into the Linwu District Police Sub-bureau, both Li Zhigang and Jiang Zhengqiu refused to admit what they had done. As a result, Captain Tang Fei took out the verified audio recorded by Zhou Lang. Li Zhigang did not dare to speak, but Jiang Zhengqiu still had an indifferent look.

"Chief Sun, I don't know what relationship this Zhou Lang and Li Mengxue have with you that is worth you spending so much effort to deal with me?" This idiot Jiang Zhengqiu actually glared at Police Chief Sun Yongkang. At this time, he still didn't know that disaster was imminent.

"I have no relationship with them. You committed a crime, so I have to arrest you. It's that simple." Police Chief Sun Yongkang said, looking at Jiang Zhengqiu's appearance, he felt angry.

"Chief Sun, if you don't look at the monk, look at the Buddha. If you give me Face, you are also giving my father Face. Your influence in official circles doesn't seem to be as great as my father's. If you really want to punish and lock me up, I'm afraid you won't have a good ending either."

Jiang Zhengqiu actually started to threaten Police Chief Sun Yongkang.

"Alright, I allow you to make a call and call your father over." But unexpectedly, Police Chief Sun Yongkang was not afraid at all.

"Fine, you just wait for me."

This idiot Jiang Zhengqiu didn't know when to stop and really took out his mobile phone to call his father, Deputy Minister Jiang Dezhi. His father was the Deputy Minister of the Organization Department of Feiyun City, holding great power and having a very good relationship with the first-ranked Deputy Mayor. In his eyes, there was nothing in Feiyun City that his father could not handle.

Inside a secret hall of a high-end sauna city, a "talent show" was taking place. A dozen girls dressed in nearly transparent clothing were twisting their waists and walking back and forth on a T-stage.

On the sofa under the stage sat a man in his fifties. This man looked very wealthy, white and fat, but his eye sockets were somewhat sunken, looking like someone who had been hollowed out by wine and lust.

This man was none other than Jiang Zhengqiu's father, Deputy Minister Jiang Dezhi.

Deputy Minister Jiang Dezhi had long looked down on the plain-faced wife at home and often came to such entertainment venues to seek pleasure. The owner of the entertainment venue was also very sensible. Every time Deputy Minister Jiang Dezhi came, he would arrange the best girls and let him choose beauties through this kind of runway show.

As long as he chose a woman, whether it was one, two, or three, they would accompany him to play at night, or even serve him in bed.

These girls on the runway all had tags hanging on them, ranging from 1 to 9. They were not cheap goods, because the starting price for the girls here was one thousand, and the high ones reached nine thousand; it was not the price of a few hundred in those small entertainment venues.
